a wish i had is to have a repair pad on a airfield, Like the Re-fuel Re-arm Pad, But with the Repair pad you would have to wait 2mins-4mins, Or whatever HT thinks would be best :rock

Quick repair. Give the crew chief 12 hours.

From the looks of things, it looks like he thinks you should get a new plane. :D
I can't find it right now, but I think he said something along the lines of if he ever did something like that then the repair would end the flight and start a new one.... just like getting a new plane. So there would be no advantage/difference to have it repaired.

you could get higher kill landing streak :noid

Or you could just not take damage
-
yea, but when i get shot, i take damage, oil leaks, Elevator missing, all sorts of funky stuff, :O

A lot closer than what you're asking for. :aok

Not to mention there is a huge difference between an engine with a simple oil leak and an engine with battle damage.
I was an A-10 crew chief for nine years. I thought I'd seen just about every screwed up thing on an aircraft from
FOD in an engine, blown hydraulics, bird strikes, you name it. Then we got to the first Gulf War and had aircraft with
actual battle damage.
Maintenance issues like oil leaks and battle damage are two complete different animals. Pilots
don't sit in their aircraft on the hot pad with battle damage waiting to be repaired. Battle damaged aircraft don't
see combat again in a couple of minutes or a couple of hours and usually not even in a couple of days.

30 seconds.. No but we could knock out a combat quick turn in less than 30 minutes with the pilot out of the aircraft and engines shut down. We could hotpad refuel and re-arm with
the pilot in the cockpit and engines running in about 15 minutes. This was fuel and bombs only. If the aircraft needed ammo then the pilot would get out
and we did the normal combat quick turn.

I'll call your rearm and refuel and raise you an average joe who can INSTANTANEOUSLY repair and rearm GVs.

He doesn't do it as a fuction of the rearm pad though does he? ;)
-

No, he does it anywhere, anytime. His specialty is battlefield repairs out of his rolling drydock. Cannon rounds got you down? He can repair you back to 100% BETWEEN 75mm strikes to your turret. :D
-
WAIT~ I GOT IT> We should just have balloons that have supplies tied to them. c47s can drop them around the furball and we can fly through them to repair and rearm. Then we can forget about these dumb ideas of repair on base. :rolleyes:

A repair pad? Nah, it takes more than a NASCAR style dash of fuel and ammo crewmen to repair damage. I say leave it as is, if the plane is actually damaged then there is no repair until you tower out.
I do think the reload/refuel time could be lengthened a wee bit, I will agree. Oh, and obviously HTC currently thinks 30 seconds is the "best" time. ;)

can the average pilot take off and get to a firefight all within 5 minutes like we have now?

well it takes another player to do a supply drop to rearm and fix your GV..so you're really not fixing yourself...just saying..where as a rearm and refueling pad you do by yourself as an aircraft.so not really the same thing...just my 2 cents :salute
-

Did you mean could the...? If so, then yes. It depended on which side you were fighting for and at what particular point in the war!
-
if you ever refueled and rearmed a tank , like I've done at many occasions, you know it take lots of time, putting shells into place through top hatch, mg-ammo, but fixing tracks / whatever is REALLY hard work, and imagine you sit exposed out of the battlefield with 1/2 crew outside , second half inside replenishing / fixing stuff.
Engines repair are not easy stuff in tanks too, I spent endless hours fixing with them damned things.
i say IF field tank repairs are being made out on the battlefield as AH have now , some aircraft repairs should be enabled at hangar.

I believe HT's reasoning for the Vehicle repair system is the long transit time for vehicles to and from the battle from their bases. Therefore he has allowed repairs on vehicles to keep the fight going. Aircraft do no have the same issues with transit time, plus it is quicker to tower out and get a fresh aircraft then it is to taxi to the re-arm pad re-arm then taxi back to the runway. People asking for repairs on aircraft usually have one motive in mind. Getting repaired so they can get a bigger number and next to thier name in lights. It has nothing to do with keeping the fight going.

I can be made to believe a WWII tank crew could redneck engineer a battlefield fix in 30 seconds before I could believe a WWII ground crew could repair an oil hit in the same amount of time.
-1 to the repair pad.

That sounds pretty plausible and reasonable. I agree. -1 to repairing aircraft. Wouldn't bother me if we couldn't rearm them either, except in FSO.

It takes longer to refuel and rearm than 30 seconds (in real life), yet we have that. I'm for the extra wait.

Ahh, you wish to quibble. Cool.
I could be made to believe a tank crew could redneck engineer battle damage in 30 seconds BEFORE I could believe a more complex machine like a WW2 fighter could be repaired in the same amount of time.
You smell me now bro? It's kind of like a sliding scale of believability and stuff.

Sounds good, we have the 30 minutes it takes to refuel and rearm an aircraft scaled down to 30 seconds. So maybe they could scale down the 4 days or so it takes to repair a battle damged aircraft into 4 hours of game time, to get yourself more kills by your name. :lol
-
You smell me now bro?
No, no I don't. The aroma hasn't reached me yet. But I reckon they ain't enough rednecks in the army to fix the damage from a 75mm in 30 seconds.

Ok. Lets see if we can get your quibbling arse up to speed with the English language before we go any further. If I say that I can believe A before I'd believe Z, I'm not so much saying I believe A as much as I'm saying Z is completely stupid and useless. Sort of like your initial quibble with what I said.
Do you understand what I just typed?

In a related wish I wouldn't mind if GV supplies took 30 seconds to take effect like the re-arm pad does.

Why yes I do Tri-ton. And you don't have the capacity that would necessitate explaining such things to me.
I'm well aware of the expression and it's meaning. I was simply drawing attention to your ludicrous "sliding scale" as you call it.
Do you understand what I just typed now that I spelled it out for you in the same ignorant tone that you use?
In the future, just say dee-deedee and move on. Capice?

Did you mean to say that? You couldn't have. You actually meant to say something that showed us how smart you are, I'm sure. Awesome nonetheless. I will give that signature consideration. :D
Anyway, sorry bro, my capacity ain't got nothing to do with it. Your ignorance or lack of comprehension necessitated explaining such a thing to you.

No you aren't. For clarity, and because I have the capacity that necessitates messing with you ( :)), here is what you didn't understand.

And here's what you wrote:

This does not indicate comprehension. It indicates ignorance or a very strange way to begin a troll. Either way, someone needs to unplug the keyboard for you.

Luckily for me, yes, I understand everything you just wrote and I think it's bbs gold! My tone, for the record wasn't ignorant, it was condescending, and it was meant to be that way because at first I actually thought you knew what I meant but you were just being a weird troll. I almost feel bad for being that way, but not really. :)
Capice?
No. But I think it's ironic that you misspelled an Italian slang for "do you understand" in a thread in which you clearly do not understand what you're reading. :)

it's all good :D

:devil why are people still commenting, on the stupid wish i made :headscratch:

Did you mean to say that? You couldn't have.
I did, and clearly you don't understand English so I will translate for you. It means..."You do not have the intellectual capacity to say anything intelligent or comprehensible, that would require your idiotic explanations to me."
Your ignorance or lack of comprehension necessitated explaining such a thing to you.
I think it's clear already, you aren't qualified nor have the capacity to identify ignorance, look how easily your own eludes you.
No you aren't. For clarity, and because I have the capacity that necessitates messing with you ( :)), here is what you didn't understand.
And here's what you wrote:
I am well aware of what I wrote and that in my 40 years speaking English, YES I have certainly heard the silly expression you are referring to several hundred times with perfect comprehension. As for the messing, you think far too much of yourself as you are about to learn.
For clarity, here is what YOU didn't understand,

Your retarded comparison of real life repairs to a video game, while thinking you made a valid point, boggles the mind and actually hurts when I try to picture how dumb you would have to be. Not only that, you tried to beef up your asinine argument by throwing in a oil hit on this fictitious aircraft, but avoided describing what kind of a theoretical 30 second fix the tank crew would encounter. In essence, you stacked stupid on top of stupid to create a whole new level of stupid.
I didn't say anything about you believing anything. You said "I can be made to believe." Just more proof feeble minds are easily swayed. But you did believe you made a rational comparison in a fantasy world where a 3ton28 like you gets to fly WW2 fighter aircraft in the comfort of his stained sweaty wife beater.
Luckily for me, yes, I understand everything you just wrote and I think it's bbs gold!
I'm glad to see you acknowledge that what little comprehension you have is dependent on luck and you are right, it certainly is amusing.

You give new meaning to another expression, "beating yourself up!" 20 bucks says your spelling was the American slang version before you looked it up. :lol

Are you mad at me, Muzik? :(
While I'd dearly love to continue this, it's really bad form to argue about something this stupid and far from the original topic. Do you agree? Kind of like your original reply to me. :) We can let future readers of this thread (heaven help them) decide who's stupid. :cheers:
